Asus ZenFone Zoom S launched in India

Today, Asus launched ZenFone Zoom S in India for a price of INR 26,999 and will be available exclusively via Flipkart.

The ASUS ZenFone Zoom S (also known as the ZenFone 3 Zoom elsewhere) is the second model in the ZenFone Zoom line. Unlike the first model that featured a large and bulky optical zoom mechanism, the ZenFone Zoom S instead features a dual camera system similar to the iPhone 7 Plus.

The primary camera in this dual camera system is a 12 megapixel sensor with f1.7 aperture and 25mm wide angle lens. The second camera is also a 12 megapixel sensor with 59mm telephoto lens, giving it 2.3x lossless optical zoom over the primary sensor, which can be increased to 12x digitally.

The device is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset, with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. What’s special about the device is its whopping 5000mAh battery. Asus promises two days of battery life with moderate usage.

The ZenFone Zoom S will be available in Navy Black and Glacier Silver.
